Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island

Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island (2001)

by Digital Extremes, Electronic Arts
Genres:Pinball
Themes:Comedy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:It starts when you receive a note and map from your long lost grandfather, along with the promise of the adventure of a lifetime. You'll encounter dinosaurs, volcanoes, and man-eating sharks, as well as a tribe of cavemen to save. Your mission is to save the Forgotten Island. There are 9 interconnected tables included for you to conquer. They have to be unlocked during the game and offer 2 or 3 settings per table. In comparison to most other pinball simulations the goals on a table are mostly not to get a high score but to solve missions like chasing away sharks. Also unusual are the 3D graphics: instead of a static top-down view the camera follows the pinball ball.Show more

Please GOG, make this happen. This is one of the most fun and atmospheric pinball games from the early 2000's. Made in the first Unreal engine, this game is a dinosaur/cavemen themed pinball adventure game with excellent mechanics and amazing music. Getting it to run on modern systems is very difficult, and fans of this game will tell you: This needs to be preserved. Oh, and if this happens.... There is a bonus stage that was only available as an online download back in the day, a monkey themed extra table. Would be nice to see that included too. I still have it and I'm never getting rid of those files, given that it's not easy to find anymore.

Such a fun pinball game, very creative. I loved playing it with my dad and my sister! Still to this day ,from time to time, we remember the funny voice over yelling "LAVA BALL"!
I played it when I was a kid, the ambient sounds and the balls were very addictive, it's a wonder I remembered the name of this game. I'm gonna buy this one as soon as it is available :)

Pinball Fantasies
Pinball FantasiesAfter the success of Pinball Dreams on several systems, a sequel featuring four new tables was created. The gameplay is much the same as the first game, with realistic physics, multi-player options and a high score table to aim for. The tables are Partyland, Speed Devils, Billion Dollar Gameshow and Stones 'n' Bones, taking in a funfair, racing cars, a tacky game-show, and a graveyard. Each one has a range of ramps, combos, light sequences and targets to shoot, as well as general themes which are less influenced by real tables than those in Pinball Dreams.

Microsoft Pinball Arcade
Microsoft Pinball ArcadeThe programmers at Microsoft are porting a game from their operating system over to the Game Boy Color with MICROSOFT PINBALL ARCADE. This pinball game was great fun on the PC, and now it is in a form that can be taken anywhere. There are seven different tables that are actually representative of real boards made by pinball giant Gottlieb throughout the last century. Each board carries a different theme, whether it is space travel or a haunted house. The boards also contain a varying number of paddles and paddle locations to make each a different playing experience. The graphics in this version are not as shiny as its computer counterpart, but they do translate well to the small color screen. The sound effects and music remain largely the same, adding to the game's arcade feel. The cartridge also contains a short but detailed history of pinball and how it has evolved over the years. MICROSOFT PINBALL ARCADE gives players the classic game with enough boards and extras to keep even the experts busy for quite a while.

Extreme Pinball
Extreme PinballExtreme Pinball was Epic's successor to their hit pinball game Epic Pinball. It contains four pinball tables: Rock Fantasy, Medieval Knights, Urban Chaos, and Monkey Mayhem, each with a different theme. Compared to Epic Pinball, it has a larger, 320x400 resolution, as well as taller tables, both allowing for more objects. It also has a typical Dot Matrix Display where the scoreboard shows 3D-rendered animations as well. The controls are more sensitive with a faster ball. This is less true to real pinball gameplay, but it speeds up the game's pace and gives more power to the player to influence the movement.
